Not to be an ass, but what is with people making statements like this? Are you aware of the definition of camouflage? Do you think the fake body panels and swirl graphics are put on for nothing? God damn. Herp derp.

God damn dude! Take a step back from the computer, everything is going to be okay.

For what it's worth, I spent two hours with a BMW PR guy at the Detroit Auto Show last week. One of things we talked about was the whole headlights-blending-into-the-grill thing on the 3er. I told him I didn't really care for that design cue. He said it was done to differentiate the 3er and 4er from the 5er and give them their own faces. Anyway, we briefly talked about the 2er. He was kind of coy and didn't want to reveal much, but he said something like, "You know how you don't like ze headlights into ze grill on the 3? You vill like ze 2 much better, zen..." and he smiled. I, obviously, took that to mean that the headlights would not blend into the grill. Just throwing that out there...

This would be a significant positive. Boo for front light kidney mashups. Yay for the 2 series. Possibly. Heh.

So is a 2 series like between the size of a 1 and 3? and the 4 series will be between the size of a 3 and 5 series?

The 2 will be essentially the same size as the F20 Hatch, and its the same for the 4 and the F30. Any difference in size will be very slight, and it will just be because of the body work. Not an increase in wheelbase.

Just think of the 2-Series as a replacement for the 1-Series Coupe, and the 4-Series as a replacement for the 3-Series Coupe.
